Course Description
This competency standard unit covers determining correct operation of single source parallel and series-parallel circuits and providing solutions as they apply to various electronic work functions. It encompasses working safely, problem solving procedures, including the use of voltage, current and resistance measuring devices, providing solutions derived from measurements and calculations to predictable problems in multiple path circuit.
Note: The skills and knowledge described in this unit requires a
licence to practice in the workplace where plant and
equipment is directly connected to installation wiring that
operates at voltage above 50 V a.c. or 120 V d.c
